I visit the 99 Cents Only store in Concord, CA usually once a month because I have come across some really good deals in the past. Today I stopped by in hopes of browsing their Halloween selection but I was disappointed that it hadn’t been put out yet. I guess it is still only the beginning of September and that there still is time – ha! My disappointment quickly dissolved as I found some really good deals today that I wanted to share!
